The owner closed in 2013, but they did not move in until 2014.  This would make a little more than a year that they lived in the house.  (I would consider any house under 3 Years practically new).

Richwoods Community hosts it’s 1st Halloween Party yesterday evening


20131020-200325.jpg

At the corner of Adare Manor and Postell in Richwoods Landing approximately 150 residents attended the community event. They blocked the street and was fantastic to meet the neighbors on a very cool night.

20131020-201026.jpg

Older kids played soccer games and football games in the blocked off street. The younger kids rode bicycles, tricycles, electric jeeps and scooters.

Hamburgers and a hotdogs were cooked by a homeowner and the residents brought side dishes and desserts. Another resident brought out 4 coolers of anything you wanted to drink.

20131020-201634.jpg

I will tell you this though. EVERYONE there was as nice as could be! This community is a dream. Also, Kids outnumbered adults 2 to 1. Very kid friendly neighborhood.

20131020-202054.jpg

We dressed up as scary Zombies! It was a fun event for everyone.

“HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!”

Brad Holden – Holden New Homes – Licensed Texas Real Estate Broker

My 100th Closing in Richwoods and this is what I have seen are “Must Haves” of my clients.


20130924-134336.jpg

I have worked hard the past two years and have just eclipsed 100 sales in Richwoods as of yesterday. That is a combined total of K Hovnanian Homes, Toll Brothers, Landon Homes, Newcastle Homes and John Landon Signature Series homes. This has allowed me to be a part of 100 families needs vs. wants when building a new home.

I thought it would be very beneficial to list out what my clients thought and decided on. Again, everyone is different in style and taste but here are 10 of the “Must Haves” when you build a new home in today’s market.

20130924-171031.jpg

1. Wood Floors

It is almost 95% that in this price point ($380’s-$1mm) that there is somewhere in the house you will find hard wood flooring. Either glued down or hand scraped hardwood will do.

2. Media Room

Personally, I don’t understand the Fad, but a media room is a MUST HAVE for about 90% of my clients. Even if it is upstairs for some reason people just have to have one. This can also be your “Man Cave!”

3. Electrical Outlets for Flat Screens

The Flat Screen TV is taking over. But many builders do not change the outlet unless the buyers request it. Just think twice about it. Even if you don’t use it, you will have it for resell and it would be easy to hair behind a picture.

4. Laundry Room Location

Finally, people are realizing how much time they spend in the laundry room. Make sure in your plan that the location of the laundry room is around the majority of bedrooms.

5. First Floor Extra Bedroom

I can’t tell you how many clients walk into a house, look for the extra bedroom downstairs and can’t find one, then they walk out. It is very important to have an extra bedroom for parents, guests, hobbies etc.

6. Three Car Garages

At this price point, the majority of my clients purchase this as their next home. So many want a larger garage, no question about it.

7. Wider Hallways

Most hallways are 3 feet wide according to minimum standards for Frisco code. But if you can make them wider (4 Feet) it looks better and feels more roomy.

20130924-171315.jpg

8. Large Drawers in the Kitchen instead of Cabinets

Old school is cabinets. New school, larger drawers. Large drawers make more sense and allow you to easily access the items towards the back.

20130924-170918.jpg

9. Free Shower Caddies

This is something I learned first hand and if you address it with your builder at the time you are walking electricals, they are very likely to accommodate your request. It’s easy to build the box and they will either tile it or marble it and is ESSENTIAL when you are in the shower.

20130924-145848.jpg

10. Oversized Kitchens with Large Island

On average, over 10 hours a day is spent in every kitchen in America! It’s the most used room of any room in the house. Make it large, make it nice and it will make you smile!

For more information on any of the builders in Richwoods or their available lots or incentives, call Brad Holden today at (469) 733-2723.

Ring Road walls going up in Richwoods


20120809-213640.jpg

If you drive through Richwoods today you will notice that the walls are going up around the ring road. Each has a specific brick design and is capped off with an Austin stone post.

This community feature is one of my favorites because the rest of the wall continuing from the stone post will be rod iron. It will help each community and section feel open as one instead of being shut off.

You will also notice the stone section at the main entrance on Independence is nearly completed and the large gates will be brought in very soon.

If you plan to buy in Richwoods jn the next couple weeks don’t forget about my 4% Total Rebate until August 20th. Call Me today for more details at (469) 733-2723.
